WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Flame war!!!
Go Joe...
BTW, I got your joke (and Hari's) the first time.
Remeber, though that we DO have a problem with the virus that causes people
to be humor-challenged on this list.
I know, I caught it recently and it took a ton of anti-biotics, a
6-month-old Swedish newpaper story, a corp announcement from the UK, an
email from you and a near-miss from Michael's flame-thrower to send me into
remission.
Go get'em!
